As William Butler Yeats once said, “Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire” A true educator is someone who puts their heart and soul into enriching the students’ minds. It is not just about the result but the journey it takes to get there. The ACLP 2.0 programme was a battleground and Kala made sure we were all ready to face the challenges ahead.
